[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Edit: Nice build!

Oh my God, this build... my char is godlike wtf? Tree is the same, but I swapped celerity for survivalist, and 2 points of a jewel socket for cloth and chain ( I needed resistances due to the insane amount of essences of envy wasteds and no resistances rings). My items;



I need to say that the witchfire brew is HUGE with the breach system. If u need to priorize investments, forget about vulne on hit snakes and go for the flask. Insane..

@Falafas, craft Two-Stone or Prismatic Rings with Envy - they already have 30 resistances. You don't really need that tiny physical damage on rings, so crafting those is basically wasting Envys.

Instead of investing a bunch of currency into cospris (I like that more than managing Snakebite) I have decided to use snakebite with 3 Pacifisim jewels. You lose a good damage by doing this but it makes poison ridiculously cheap and easy.

@emaster since the poison is based on the initial hit, and scales with physical damage, I thought that the ideal item would be a steel ring with a flat phys dmg adition, life and flat chaos as preffixes, with %chaos dmg as suffix and some res. That's like incredible luck, but I cannot avoid being greedy xD (notice that both my rings are exaltable to get the phys flat, but they have no res and I have no balls yet)

@Falafas well you need quite a lot of resists, so you will have to sacrifice something for that small added phys damage (like you are now sacrificing 4 skill points). Maybe at least first craft decent resists rings, since that is much easier :) And if you are perfectionist - first craft amulet with crit multi and life (and 21 added chaos gem) :) You can also have flat phys in addition to life and crit multi on amulet, but getting all that together with resists will be tough I suppose, so you will need even more resists on rings.

Merry Christmas everyone and I am happy so many of you enjoy the build :) I wont be around much during the next couple of days but I will try to sneak in here and there.

@cmphx, if I want to try Uber Atziri, does it still make sense to spec into Point Blank? And for guardians? I just didn't try them before, so don't know if I would be able to be close enough for Point Blank to take effect. Also, I have %chaos on all my accessories, do I need to spec into Point Blank in this case at all? My barrage tooltip in hideout is 16k.

why not try it out? most of the time in uber you are actually pretty close (vaals, uber atziri split phase) and for trio it doesnt matter much tbh.

Odd question, but assuming I had about 50 ex to spend is this build capable of face tanking shaper through vaal pact?

I dont really know ... maybe with an atziris promise. But there are much better "facetank shaper" builds out there.

This build was made to avoid things, not tank it. The tools it has makes this dodging easier than most other builds, and its fun too ! Its much more fun to engage in combat rather than just get 12k ES and facetank everything with leech. You learn nothing about the fights or its mechanics, and with your next build you will die all the time, because youre getting used to ignore everything.

how are breach bosses with this acc ?
